With IAAF events, we get to watch the WORLD's best athletes. The fastest athletes on the planet compete in their races, and we get to watch those races for free. Dibaba, Yomif, Hassan, etc.

However, with USATF, we get to watch a few class american runners, but the rest are sub-elite, and we have to pay to watch the events. I don't get it. I really don't

Even in Great Britain, they televise track events for free. There is no charge. Now, every resident has to pay a TV license to watch TV , but that's only 147.00 a year, and there is no other charge on top of that. Hell, most people in america are paying 30.00 or 40.00 a month for just basic cable.

We can watch runners break WR and set WL for free, but we have to pay to see american runners run slow times.

funny stuff.

I only want to inject a thought here. Not affiliated with runnerspace or usatf and I can't say I really support either...

BUT I can empathize with runnerspace because whether or not you appreciate his work he does do work and for a long time he did it for free.

USATF should probably just pay him a salary. But my guess is the subscription service pays both athletic.net and runnerspace something so that they can breathe a little easier. These are labors of love not of profit and you people are a very tough crowd to get money from.

Get real, whiner

Millrose was on network TV for two hours. That's as free as it gets.

I totally agree, watched the replay of indoor 1500m where Iguider clipped Manangoi, Manangoi fells, and Iguider tripped over him - all in a blazing fast last lap. That kind of action between (likely) the premier 1500m and a name stay/veteran of the 1500m in JANUARY is unprecedented, and FREE! Crazy to think I have to pay $50 on MileSplit to watch kids break 5:00 on flat 200m tracks.
